The Theocracy of The United Good
"Try it ... you'll like it !"
UN Category: Left-wing Utopia
Civil Rights: World Benchmark Economy: Struggling Political Freedoms: Superb
Location: Apolyton
The Theocracy of The United Good is a tiny, socially progressive nation, renowned for its punitive income tax rates. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 5 million are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whoever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, liberal, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, Religion & Spirituality, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 61%, and even higher for the wealthy. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Furniture Restoration.
Crime is relatively low. The United Good's national animal is the oyster, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush and wet forests, and its currency is the ninge.

Most Holy Republic of Eredron
quote:
UN Category: New York Times Democracy
Civil Rights: Good
Economy: Good
Political Freedoms: Superb
The Holy Republic of Eredron is a small, devout nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, intelligent population of 14 million enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.
The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defence, and Education. The average income tax rate is 21%, but much higher for the wealthy. A healthy private sector is led by the Automobile Manufacturing, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing industries.
College students make ends meet by selling their kidneys, surveillance cameras are banned, the death penalty has been reintroduced, and Eredron's children are widely acknowledged as the most foul-mouthed in the region. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is relatively low, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eredron's national animal is the Phoenix, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the Mark.
Eredron is ranked 2nd in the region and 25,407th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry. |

Voting is voluntary. Crime is a problem. Baskinia's national animal is the turtle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the geld.

The Disputed Territories of Auldoninna is a very large, economically powerful nation, notable for its complete lack of prisons. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 56 million are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.
The enormous government concentrates mainly on Defence, although Law & Order and Commerce are secondary priorities. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 22%. A healthy private sector is led by the Book Publishing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports industries.
Naturists are jailed regularly for indecent exposure, the government is avowedly atheist, teachers regularly paddle unruly students, and the government has cut its subsidies for all special interest groups. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is relatively low, thanks to a well-funded police force. Auldoninna's national animal is the gerbil, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the banana.
Auldoninna is ranked 57th in the region and 34,322nd in the world for Largest Insurance Industry

UN Category: Inoffensive Centrist Democracy

The Egalitarian Technocracy of Azan is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its compulsory military service.

The average income tax rate is 38%. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Information Technology.
Euthanasia is legal, citizens must pay to enjoy Azan's pristine beaches, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, and the government extracts trade concessions from poor nations in exchange for humanitarian aid. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is relatively low, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Azan's national animal is the oran-gutan, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the The Azani Pound.

The Federation of Big Noise
"I can see the stars!!!"
UN Category: Capitalist Paradise
Civil Rights: Below Average Economy: Powerhouse Political Freedoms: Some
The Federation of Big Noise is a tiny, economically powerful nation, remarkable for its complete lack of prisons. Its hard-working, cynical population of 5 million are either ruled by a small, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.
The minute, pro-business government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Commerce, Defence, and Social Welfare. Income tax is unheard of. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Retail, Book Publishing, and Pizza Delivery industries.
Crime is a problem, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. Big Noise's national animal is the heffalump, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the baikanur.

Education and welfare spending are on the rise, the government awards prizes to television shows featuring stereotype-breaking minority roles, cars are banned, and it is a crime to offend someone's religious beliefs. Crime is well under control. Labmonkeys's national animal is the liberated lab rat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the gdollar.
Labmonkeys is ranked 77th in the region and 71,144th in the world for Largest Mining Sector. |
The name is silly but I like how the nation is turning out, at first I was disheartened by the plummiting crimerate because I always took a stance against more police/prisons. However then I realised it's because everything has either been banned (no cars = no traffic violations) or made legal (drugs) and tolerance is enforced by the goverment. There is simply very little scope for crime in my nation

The Dictatorship of Frankychanland
"Frankychan Knows What's Best"
UN Category: Corrupt Dictatorship
Civil Rights: Below Average
Economy: Fair
Political Freedoms: Outlawed
Location: Apolyton
The Dictatorship of Frankychanland is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its punitive income tax rates. Its compassionate, cynical population of 202 million are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and the Environment. The average income tax rate is 100%. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising fourteen-year-old boys selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.
All guns must be registered, every product goes through extensive safety-testing by the government, guns are banned, and major cities are suffering under water rationing. Crime is relatively low. Frankychanland's national animal is the humuhumunukunukuapuaa, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the left big toe.

I wonder what happened to my nation. I gave it to somebody, I cannot remember who. What's the link again?
We may have to enter into complex bilateral trade negotiations first. Jonchastan has no objection to a shared currency with other progressive nations. However, we do not wish to endanger our citizen's ability to spend like Santa and save like Scrooge.
